AI Summary

This bill establishes the New York State Volunteer Fire Protection Emergency Reimbursement Account, which will be used to reimburse volunteer fire companies, departments, districts, and non-profit emergency medical services for expenses related to procuring personal protective equipment (such as face shields, gowns, and respirators) and for lost revenues due to municipal budget cuts or restrictions on public revenue-raising events during the COVID-19 state of emergency declared by the Governor. The bill directs that a portion of the revenues collected under Section 186-f of the Tax Law be credited to this new account, and it outlines the process for applying for and receiving reimbursements from the account. The provisions of the bill are set to expire one year after the expiration of the Governor's declared emergency.
